Golub will continue to work with the Blazers but also develop marketing initiatives for the Seattle Seahawks and work on Seattle Sounders business and new Vulcan sports ventures, Vulcan said in a press release.

Hired as Blazers COO in early 2007, Golub will remain based in Portland, where he has become a mainstay in the local restaurant scene. His personable nature and persistent outreach helped smooth frayed relationships between previous Trail Blazers management and the team's fans and sponsors and civic groups.
